Your deadline had passed when you accepted people. Therefore, you should not accept people. You kept pressuring them to pay and tell them it is OK because you know it is after the deadline and if they pay and will not get their visas the students will never get their money back. Very smart of you people. That's why you have a deadline not to accept students anymore. As far as I am concerned, you threatened me with lawsuits because I quit the school- which was a piece of crap-and you offered me a spot for the next year so that I will not do anything to get my money back. I will continue to let future students know about your policies so that they will not attend your school SPD. The other schools in Italy are great such as IED or Domus- not your school. I only applied to the Basic program which was a prelude to the master. You don't even know about your program. How great. All I want is my money back and since I did not have enough time to get my visa, therfore can not attend your school, I should get my money back.

This school SPD needs international students to survive and they will do anything to prop up their credentials and to get your money. I got scammed, and so will you. Beware future international students.

Wow this is amazing. I am not an industrial design person but I would like to study fashion in Italy. I looked at Spd's web and sounds like a lot of money. From what I read, I have to back PissedOff guy Norman. Spd accepted him after their deadline and they new. Why would Spd accept students after that date? Because if he paid, he will never get his money again. No matter what happens.

They Could have said to enroll the following year so Norman will have the time to get visa. And since he did not get visa, he should get the money back.

Way to go Pissed Off for challenging this school. I back you 100 percent.

I am the original Pissed Off guy and I also responded a couple of times to the staff at SPD whatever her name is Rita. Some people have been using my username to abuse the sytem. Anyways, if I can influence at least a single person not to attend IED, I have reached my goal. But then again, I hope the first posting that I wrote will influence many people. The people of SPD are decieiving and do not tell the truth. I fell into their game and I lost money. I was dumb. However I learned my lesson. But I hope future students will learn from my mistakes. There are better schools in Milan other than SPD that are genuine and honest and more reputable.

That is correct. The system is meant to smear and spread libel against universities, firms, and other designers.

Additionally, all other pissed off people need to cease and desist immediately in their utilizing "Pissed Off."

"Pissed Off" is a registered trademark of the person formerly known as Norman and now known as "Pissed Off."

* If you have any reason to be pissed off in the future, you must refrain from using "Pissed Off" or "Pissed Off" reserves the right to take legal action. "Pissed Off" also claims the alternative version of itself also known as “POed.”

Hi

SOmetime back ppl said SPD is bad whereas IED & Domus are good.Now you seem to be giving another opinion.Now wat do u have to tell bout IED.Is it worth going there.

just a little extra clarification about the spd story
the deadline for enrolement in the basic course was not over yet
it was over the deadline for withdrawal getting full refund.
and this was clearly stated in the contract
sorry, as an adult (32) working in a bank he was supposed to be perfectly aware of contracts
about postponing enrolement to the next year due to serious visa problems (he'd better have told the Student Information Service earlier), this was offered but it was not norman's option, probably fed up with insurance looking buildings. sorry for being so technical.

i just regret this seems a personal fight against the school and so, let me say "old girl"? not if you think that a 32 years old pissed off person is "young".
and hairy? please
